Victoria: Melbourne local council candidate Jameel Kaur Singh is in shock after her campaign boards were vandalized. Their billboards were vandalized with the words "Go back to your own country, Australia is for Australians".
This kind of hatred is all over the campaign poster of Jamel Kaur Singh, an Australian citizen and permanent resident, who is running as an independent in the City of Casey, south-east of Melbourne Campaigned.
With family heritage in Punjab and Pakistan, the 47-year-old teacher and consultant has lived in Australia since she was four. The city of Casey is known for its cultural diversity. According to the 2022 Census, half (47 per cent) of the council's residents were born overseas (compared to 35 per cent across Victoria).
Victoria Police confirmed it was investigating the incident and said it takes racially and politically motivated crime seriously. "These are criminal acts and will be fully investigated with a view to apprehending the perpetrators," a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
